Abstract: The objective of the present invention is to shorten the processing time for calculating a specific number sequence by means of parallel arithmetic processing. A preparatory processing unit (11) uses a recurrence formula to determine arithmetic processing starting points for each of a plurality of calculators, a parallel arithmetic processing unit (12) calculates a specific number sequence by solving a given formula from the arithmetic processing starting point for each calculator, in parallel arithmetic processing employing the plurality of calculators, and a quasi-random number sequence generating unit (13) generates a quasi-random number sequence on the basis of the specific number sequence.

Abstract: A rendering apparatus includes: a fragmentation unit configured to divide a three-dimensional model into a plurality of fragments; a calculation unit configured to calculate first radiance for each of the plurality of fragments, the first radiance being radiance in a direction from each of the plurality of fragments to every other of the plurality of fragments; and a rendering unit configured to calculate second radiance for each fragment visible from a viewpoint among the plurality of fragments based on the first radiance, the second radiance being radiance in a direction from the fragment to the viewpoint, project each fragment visible having the second radiance on a rendering screen relevant to the viewpoint, and generate a rendered image.

Abstract: A calculation apparatus has: a dividing unit configured to divide a predetermined space including a substance of a calculation target into a plurality of regions; an electron wave function calculating unit configured to calculate an electron wave function for each of the regions obtained by the dividing by the dividing unit; and an all-electron wave function calculating unit configured to calculate an all-electron wave function by multiplying electron wave functions of the respective regions calculated by the electron wave function calculating unit.

Abstract: In order to make advertising information more accessible to consumers, and thereby to expand the advertising business, an information transceiving system is provided comprising a communication terminal for receiving advertisement connection information which is used by a receiver to make a connection to advertising information and an information providing device capable of providing the advertising information. This system includes a memory for transmittably storing advertisement connection information. An advertisement connection information acquisition command transmitter transmits a command for advertisement connection information acquisition to the information providing device to acquire one or more pieces of advertisement connection information. A device acquires one or more pieces of advertisement connection information on the basis of the command for advertisement connection information acquisition from the communication terminal.

Abstract: An advertisement delivery system, advertising content and advertisement delivery apparatus, and an advertisement delivery method is provided which enables a viewer to effectively utilize advertising information without difficulty and to easily reach a desired advertisement, with which an advertiser is capable of delivering its advertisement effectively to a viewer who belongs to the class of people who purchase its class of products. In an advertisement delivery system for delivering an advertisement to a viewer via a fast communication network, advertising content having one or more advertisements that are focussed on a predetermined target in advance and having an address part indicating a link relationship with a web site relating to said advertisements, and an advertisement delivery apparatus for delivering said advertising content are arranged on a fast communication network, and the advertisement delivery system delivers the advertising content to the viewer based on requests of the viewer.
